There should be a corollary to the old adage “Be careful what you wish for” which is “Be careful what you promise to do”.

Some time back I promised to write some XNA courseware. A whole course worth in fact, based on my XNA book. This has turned out to be a non-trivial exercise. In fact I’ve been writing pretty much continuously for the last fortnight, around 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. And at the time of writing I’ve reached chapter 12.

Silly me.

The problem is that after a day of writing I don’t really feel that keen to trot out some fun prose about what kind of day I have had because, quite frankly, at the moment I can’t tell them apart. And I can’t even think of novel combinations of the “I have been mostly writing today”.

The good news is that some day soon you will be able to download and use my XNA course material. And I jolly well hope you find it useful.
